Chapter 49: The Meeting of the Main City
Hall.
Silence.
Hussein wears a green robe and a hat with long hair. He sat quietly in the temple, not breathing. He is in stark contrast to the powerful people around him, such as the Mayor, the Commander of the Empire, the Minister of Special War, the Minister of the Army, the Minister of Law, the Minister of Finance, and the Minister of Resources... The top leaders of these departments. Everyone sat on a golden pillar, blooming with different colors of light, exerting strong pressure on His Highness who was concentrated dozens of meters below, like a place of judgment for the gods.
The heartbeat, even the breathing and the mysterious atmosphere of the dozen or so people in the Yellow Spring were extremely clear.
Thundering, Leng Yun understood.
Zhang Tong is now in a very dangerous environment.
Because the Wind Chaser Sage didn't speak, and the heads of various departments didn't speak, they just focused on Zhang Tong. Zhang Tong is not an ordinary spiritual powerhouse, even if he has seen the evil dragon, he will naturally not be afraid of the pressure caused by the demi-saint, but despite this, he still feels a faint pain in his chest, and it is very difficult to walk.
Hussein sat up straight and asked in a calm tone, "The investigation clearly shows that you are the only one among us who has entered the seal. What's going on inside?"
Zhang Tong described in detail the process of transferring the dragon to the Lunar Organization base and then to the place where it entered the seal. He continued: "In fact, the dragon woke up a long time ago, but it hid inside and didn't come out. As long as the evil dragon is willing to break through the seal at any time, there is no need for the awakening ritual organized by the moon!"
"Nonsense!"
Like thunder!
Voices echoed through the hall, and several people felt their brains buzzing and nearly fell to the ground. The speaker is a descendant of a huge human race. The skin watered with gold has a metallic sheen and is up to 6 meters high, making it possible to look up only.
Commander.
A powerful provincial veteran!
This is one of the demi-saints of the city of Seasea. The army that governs the military department of the major city can also control and call on the local army at will. He was the one with the most troops in the entire province of Saihae. He didn't believe what Zhang Tong said, so he took the lead in refuting it.
Hussein looked up slightly, but did not speak.
The commander-in-chief stood up and rebuked him in a thunderous voice: "The adults in the province are all lies made up to evade responsibility. There must be a reason why the evil dragon was born early. It seems to me that 80% of the actions taken by the commanders were errors of judgment that led to mistakes, and they should be held fully responsible!"
Qiao Wei'er glared and shouted, "Nonsense!"
The commander-in-chief did not want to quarrel with Jowell at all. He just looked at Zhang Tong aggressively. The survey commander asked the seat a question. Can you answer honestly?"
Zhang Tong was not angry at the chief commander's question, because some people asked questions normally, and Zhang Tong was mentally prepared. If after Zhang Tong said everything, none of the people present had any suspicions, this is probably abnormal. Unless all those present are fools, or senior officials don't need to discuss privately how to deal with Zhang's issue, this has become the final decision.
"I'm sorry. ”
The commander-in-chief snorted coldly, "Since the evil dragon has found you, why can you still escape from the sealed land? Don't tell me, you can stop the evil dragon's attack!"
Zhang Tong guessed that the army commander would ask this question. He frowned slightly and said, "I can't explain this question. Maybe the dragon thought I was too weak to do it myself, so he saved his life. ”
Zhang Tong could make up several reasons, but all the people present were powerful, and most of them were not ordinary people and might not be able to deceive them. If it is exposed, it will be dangerous. The current statement, while flawed and unconvincing, is more convincing than a well-orchestrated story.
The hostility on the face of the Major General Commander became even more serious, "Nonsense! Why should the evil dragon let you go!"
Zhang Tong did not reveal the Chaos Monument, but simply said: "This is the truth. Otherwise, with my strength, how can I escape the seal? If the Chief Military Minister does not believe me, I have no choice! This mission will fail, and I am responsible and willing to be punished!"
The commander-in-chief clenched his fists and was about to speak.
"I believe that the investigation of the West Sea was a success!" said the Duke of the West Sea, second only to Hussein, his whole body like a dazzling sun, "There is no better explanation. The evil dragon killed Zhang Tong without much effort, and Zhang Tong had no ability to fight back. The evil dragon has been sealed away for tens of thousands of years, and humans have only been around for a few years. There can be no intersection between the two sides. If you want to say that the Terrans and the evil dragon are secretly allied, this seat absolutely does not believe it. ”
The Minister of General Law stood up and said: "The investigation of the West Sea has made him suspected of collusion with the enemy. Perhaps he deliberately mixed with the seal and, with the help of the Alliance, unleashed the evil dragon by special means. ”
The head of the Special Operations Department, Josebe, stood up: "The logic of this statement is illogical. Over the past year, the West Sea Investigation Envoy has uncovered several serious cases of monthly infiltration, including the recovery of tribute, the discovery of hidden secret dukes, and the nearly sabotage of the "Moon" plan. All this from the point of view of the Union. If they were going to unleash the dragon from the start, why did they increase the list of suspects?...... Investigation orders make it impossible for it to unleash the dragon on its own initiative!"
"Perhaps before that, the investigation confirmed that he was dedicated to working for the Alliance and uncovering many "Moon" conspiracies, but we can't ignore one thing, the Terrans are a fickle race! Perhaps the dragon made some kind of deal with him and offered some kind of condition or benefit. The investigation led to an alliance that could not resist the temptation. This kind of thing is entirely possible!"
A shrill voice shouted.
"What's the difference between the dragon and the Scout and the dragon and the worm? Whatever promises the dragon makes, once the seal is broken, a casual blow can kill the investigation envoy. The survey won't surprise you. How can you take any chances? This is a punishable crime!"
One voice after another in the hall.
Every voice rang out.
Like a thunderbolt.
Zhang Tong held the hilt of the sword with both hands, puffed out his chest, and raised his head easily. He stood in the middle of the hall with a javelin pen and let the demi-saints argue as if everything had nothing to do with it.
The top brass of the West Sea was divided into two or three groups, one of which consisted mainly of Joseph and the Chief Duke, and chose to believe in Zhang Tong. The other faction was led by the commander-in-chief of the army, who believed that even if Zhang Tong did not betray, it was because of some mistakes that the evil dragon was born, and insisted on severe punishment. The two factions are fighting each other. There was also a silent faction, which included Barre, the commander of the imperial army, and Joseph, the governor of the line, who did not speak.
"Enough. ”
Hussein suddenly spoke.
Both sides shut up at the same time, and silence returned to the hall.
Hussein said categorically: "The evil dragon comes from ancient times, and there are few records in the materials and literature. No one can really find out the characteristics of a dragon. The investigation into the act of deepening the seal was initially an extremely risky move. Although he couldn't prevent the dragon from being born, it wasn't his fault. I believe the investigation is innocent. The discussion on this matter is over. The current enemy is at hand. We should unite and fight against the evil dragon army and not waste our experience on meaningless things. ”
"This ......"
As long as the commander-in-chief shut up.
Hussein smiled calmly, nodded to Zhang Tong, and said, "Zhang Tong investigated the conspiracy hidden in the Demon Sea, and went deep into the extremely dangerous area regardless of his own safety. Although he did not complete the task, his spirit is commendable. I announce that Zhang Tong will concurrently serve as Deputy Minister of Special Operations from now on. He will be promoted to Zheng Jin and will receive a donation of 100,000 yuan and a green crystal coin of 1 million yuan. For every credit you take, the Alliance will keep in mind that you will be rewarded when the tough times have passed. ”
Although Hussein did not punish him and instead promoted Zhang Tong to a noble and military position, Zhang Tong was not happy because Zhang Tong was not very optimistic about the situation in the West Sea, and the evil dragon army had gained momentum in Tahoe. It will be difficult for the Green Alliance to stop Nagar from moving into the province of Saihai East.
Joseph asked, "People are in this high-ranking position, haven't the central government's reinforcements arrived yet?"
Hussein replied: "After I report the situation, the central government will reply and let us stay in Saihai Province for a while." Alliance reinforcements are coming soon!"
Everyone was silent.
This order is tantamount to no reply. It does not specify how many reinforcements there were, what kind of troops to send and how many saints to send. Just to give simple comfort, who knows when the reinforcements will arrive, the four saints of Naga are not in vain, but wantonly co-opting the indigenous forces of the West Sea, with the support of the mysterious and powerful evil dragon behind them, with the strength of the provinces of the West Sea alone, can it last for a few days?
If the central government allows an evacuation order, the head of Xihai City will not hesitate to leave, although giving up this fertile land, which has been painstakingly built for 100 years, could save at least one life.
As soon as this firm order was given, it almost stopped the retreat.
People can't leave for any reason, otherwise it's a betrayal of the Union.
Hussein seemed to guess what everyone was thinking and immediately said: "Gentlemen, although the central government has not yet given a clear answer, please do not worry. I believe that the Alliance will not give up on Xihai Province, and the tribes will not give up on me. Here I assure you. Ten days, as long as you hold on for ten days, the alliance reinforcements will arrive!"
As soon as I heard the words of the Sage.
Many people feel light.
The commitment of the Sages is still very important. In fact, if you think about it, you're right. Saihai Province is so rich and has so much potential. As one of the eight major powers, how could the alliance be willing to let go? If only one Naga tribe occupied several cities, the central government would be too frightened to retreat. Wouldn't the Green Alliance be too timid? I'm afraid it would cause a series of negative reactions. For example, many grassroots citizens have expressed doubts about the strength of the coalition. In addition, they will lose their sense of security and begin to abandon their holding of green crystal coins, exchange large amounts of gold coins, and even prepare to leave the alliance.
Take a step back.
Hussein is still in Saihae Province. Hussein is not an ordinary person, but a Holy Spirit. The Green Alliance is one of the eight forces with the most Holy Spirits, but the total number of Holy Spirits is only 30 or 40. Any Holy Spirit is a very precious resource. Hussein is not only the Holy Spirit, but also the Holy Spirit of the High Elves, who are the founders and main members of the Green Alliance. Among them is the Holy Spirit named "Great Sage."
If the High Elves don't give up Hussein, they will definitely ask for reinforcements at the alliance meeting. High spirits play a very important role in the Green Alliance. If a few people of high spirits come forward, the coalition will certainly find it difficult to refuse their wishes.
Do whatever it takes!
Hold on until the 10th!
